Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowships

The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship, now available at The College of New Jersey, offers current seniors, recent graduates, and career changers in the STEM fields a $30,000 stipend to complete an intensive master’s degree program that focuses on a year-long experience in a real-world classroom. In exchange, Fellows commit to teach for three years in high–need secondary urban or rural schools, with mentoring and support from both their universities and their schools throughout their three-year commitment.

The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellows are also part of the larger international network of Woodrow Wilson Fellows, a select group of 21,000 intellectual leaders who have received the Foundation’s support over the past seven decades. Since 1945, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation has worked to identify and develop leaders and institutions to meet the nation’s critical challenges.

Today, there is no more urgent national need in education than to bring exceptionally able math and science teachers into high-need schools. Your students and alumni who have strong backgrounds in these fields can make a powerful difference in the lives of thousands of children, and in the nation’s future.
